Mercer County Area Agency on Aging | (724) 662-6222 | The Mercer County Area Agency on Aging is a source of help for seniors in many ways. For example, it can dispatch the Long-Term Care Ombudsman to seniors with concerns about quality standards within their assisted living communities.

The officers identify the local, state and federal benefits to which the vets are entitled and help them complete and submit their claims. They can also direct vets to local medical services, such as the Hermitage VA Outpatient Clinic, or the Butler VA Health Care System, if the local clinic doesn't have the facilities to treat their condition. |

The program's counselors provide information, advice, helping seniors understand the different Medicare plans and assisting with applications. The counselors may also advise seniors about private health care insurance, but they won't try to sell plans as their sole purpose is to support seniors. They can also assist when someone is denied a Medicare claim. |
